(The cat sage covered his mouth and chuckled.)
Little Wukong clenched his fist, raised it to his chest, and his eyes gradually brightened as Li Xia spoke. He couldn't wait to shout as soon as he finished speaking.
"I'm going to climb it in a bit!"
"Later?" Li Xia thought for a moment and said:
"Let's wait a bit. It's getting dark, so we should at least get some rest for the night. I'll go to town and buy some things, which I'll put in capsules. Please take these to the Cat Master for me; consider it your apprenticeship gift."
Do I need to give gifts when I become an apprentice?
Wukong scratched his head, but he decided to listen to Xia.
The two chatted as they walked back. Bora and Upa had already started a campfire. The holy land guardian warrior was extremely grateful to Li Xia for saving his life, but he was tongue-tied and couldn't express his gratitude in words.
He silently picked up the stone spear and went into the jungle. When he came out, he had more scars on his body.
This towering man emerged carrying wild boar, pheasant, and other prey, as well as something resembling a dinosaur.
After spreading honey on the meat, Bora focused intently on grilling and preparing the dishes.
Seeing this, Li Xia also took out rice wine, ginger, and other items from his personal space. These items were not expensive in the palace and could be bought for a few minutes, even less expensive than the fruit-flavored drink he was drinking.
Upa then collected some fruit in a basket, and a lively and fun bonfire party was held.
The yellow wine, heated with true qi, paired with shredded ginger, is smooth and mellow on the palate, so smooth that it can make you drunk without you even realizing it.
The four of them sat around the campfire, enjoying the delicious roasted meat.
The wild boar was roasted by Bola until its skin was golden and crispy, the fat sizzling and dripping onto the campfire, sparking and releasing an enticing aroma.
It looks incredibly delicious.
With one bite, the meat is tender and juicy, and the sweetness of honey creates a wonderful flavor that bursts on the taste buds.
Pheasant meat is sliced thinly, skewered on long, thin branches, grilled over a fire until slightly curled, and sprinkled with a few unidentified herbs picked from the nearby area.
The dinosaur-like meat was firm and chewy, and it was marinated in a homemade sauce that was salty and savory with a hint of spiciness.
The colorful fruits collected by Upa perfectly cut through the greasiness of the grilled meat.
The lively scene made even the cat sage feel that the cat food in his hand was no longer appealing. It was a pity that the cat sage could not leave Korin Tower, otherwise it would have really wanted to go down and eat with them.
Li Xia and Goku chatted, mainly about Goku's journey to find the Dragon Balls after the martial arts tournament.
In just a few days, he traveled through the snowy lands of the far north, visited a branch of the Red Turban Army, and even rescued the android Lao Ba.
Go find Bulma and embark on a journey with Krillin and Bulma to find the Dragon Balls.
The three stumbled upon a destroyed pirate base underwater, fought a robot, found the pirates' treasure, and then witnessed the base collapse.
He ultimately escaped by sheer luck; it was an extremely exciting story.
"Oh right, these are Dragon Balls!"
Wukong took out a small cloth bag from his backpack and handed it over. Inside lay four bright yellow beads.
With the addition of the one-star Dragon Ball in his possession, he had already collected five, and only the last two were needed to summon Shenron.
Li Xia took out his one-star item, tossed it into his backpack, weighed it in his hand, and then carried it on his back.
He patted Little Goku on the head: "Thanks!"
"Hmm—" Goku pinched his chin: "In that case, we'll have to wait another year to find the four-star planet. I've decided, I'll train in Korin Tower for a year!"
Then they went to find the Dragon Balls!
Little Goku's eyes sparkled as he held out his fist to Li Xia:
"I will definitely defeat you at the next martial arts tournament!"
Next time...? I'm afraid there won't be a next time.
Li Xia didn't answer. Instead, she pushed herself up with both hands, raised her head, and looked up at the brilliant starry sky. The starlight was scattered all over the sky, like the most magnificent landscape painting.
He seemed to suddenly understand what Claude had once said about the loneliness of the lone wolf.
He has traversed countless worlds, yet remains merely a passerby, walking alone on the endless path to becoming stronger.
This is loneliness, the loneliness that every strongest person in the hall of fame experiences.
Li Xia raised his glass and toasted the sky from afar:
"Respect for transcendence—"
He then tapped the glass in front of him.
Respect yourself

Chapter 32 A Devastating Victory (3K! 1/4)
The campfire gradually died down, leaving only dark red embers flickering in the embers.
The wisps of smoke rose and drifted in the breeze, as if carried away by the wind to distant places.
Several empty jars were placed around, and the yellow wine brewed by the workers tasted quite good.
One advantage of working in a temple is that employees truly dare not cut corners or use inferior materials...
After all, if you can't do business well and can't pay the rent for the hall, you'll die.
Bora had drunk a lot of alcohol and was now mistaking a tigress that had been attracted by the roast meat for her deceased wife.
She hugged the tiger, crying and muttering things no one could understand.
The poor tiger was terrified and struggled desperately, but its claws and sharp teeth were like child's play to Bora's body, which had been tempered by the secret medicine.
Brahma thought his 'wife' was flirting with him.
Upa was already asleep, fast asleep in the tent with Goku.
Li Xia found a flat stone slab and sat down cross-legged. Although the Cat Sage was not there, the habit of reviewing the game remained.
This battle with Tao Pai Pai wasn't difficult, and I didn't even feel any danger.
The seven days of intensive training yielded remarkable results. Although my attributes didn't improve much, my mastery of various skills has progressed considerably.
The actual bonuses of a skill like "Skill's End" are definitely not as simple as they appear on the screen.
The hall is simply impossible to quantify, so we can only display the quantifiable parts.
Just like the three Jade Ring Cloth Mandarin Duck Kicks he used against Tao Pai Pai, which caused considerable damage and even shattered Tao Pai Pai's confidence.
This is also part of the ultimate skill.
Therefore, Li Xia believes that the ultimate skill should be a combination of 'paper-based enhancements' and 'hidden techniques' to achieve completeness.
It's somewhat like a formula book for the Dugu Nine Swords. You can directly apply the formula to determine the opponent's moves, your own status, and the surrounding environment to find a solution.
Once you've mastered the formulas to an unparalleled degree, it becomes second nature. At that point... that's probably the most terrifying state of reaching the pinnacle of skill.
Anything that can be incorporated into a 'formula' will likely become a smooth combo once a flaw is revealed.
After finishing the debriefing, Li Xia emptied her mind and prepared to begin her daily meditation.
As the body circulates, a faint white light appears and disappears beneath the skin, gradually unfolding before finally seeping out from within.
It pulsed with his breath as if it were alive.
The starlight scattered across the night sky onto the earth, and under the guidance of the true qi, it transformed into wisps of dreamlike gauze, draped over his body.
When the true scene first appears, Yin is the ultimate Yang, water floats on the mysterious wheel, golden dew shines faintly, the source of essence flows smoothly, reflecting the jade chamber, the energy increases and the light shines brightly, and one can fly freely.
..............
The next morning, a refreshed Li Xia first took Wukong to do some shopping.
It was mainly a gift for the cat sage (I used Bulma's supplementary gold card).
After watching Wukong climb the tower like a nimble monkey, Li Xia waved goodbye to Bora and his son.
He piloted the aircraft away from Kalin.
After setting the destination for the aircraft, Li Xia opened the mission panel.
[Final Main Quest: The Demise of the Red Turban Army]
Mission Objective: Annihilate the Red Turban Army Headquarters
[Task deadline: 15 calendar days (44 hours remaining)]
[Task Difficulty: B]
[Task Rewards: 2 Attribute Points, 5 Merit Points, Returnee Qualification]
[Mission Penalty: Annihilation]
Aside from the Dragon Balls, only the final main quest remains; once completed, you can return.
Furthermore, the last two Dragon Balls were also at the Red Turban Army's headquarters, which was quite convenient.
I have no idea what the missions of the other Angels are. In all these days in the Dragon Ball world, apart from occasionally seeing news reports of riots happening somewhere, I have not been able to find anything else.
There is almost no news about the apostles, because this is an ordinary world, and there is no communication platform like the War Trials.
After thinking it over carefully, Li Xia realized that apart from the three apostles who came to the martial arts tournament, he hadn't seen a single other person.
This dynamic task mode is indeed quite interesting.
"Drip-drip-"
The plane emitted an extremely piercing warning sound, and Li Xia paused for a moment before suddenly realizing what was happening.
That's a warning sound indicating a lock-on, an anti-aircraft missile?
He suddenly jumped out of the plane, and saw two streaks of fire suddenly erupt from the ground, rushing straight towards the plane at an extremely fast speed.
This small aircraft is not high above the ground, only about two or three hundred meters.
Li Xia tried to put the plane away, but it was too late. Two anti-aircraft missiles with flames shooting from their tails were already in front of him.
"Boom—"
A violent burst of fire exploded in mid-air. Li Xia put his hand in front of him to shield himself, but the blast wave sent him flying far away.
It fell straight down to the ground.
"Report! It has been shot down!"
Several soldiers in Red Turban Army uniforms put down their shoulder-fired launchers, ready to claim credit, when a dark figure descended from the sky.
"Oh!"
With both feet planted firmly on the ground, the muscles trembled, transferring the force from the feet to the ground, creating spiderweb-like cracks.
Amidst the smoke and dust, Li Xia slowly straightened up, his face grim, and drew his spear.
The plane was a custom-made version given to her by Bulma, a model that Capsule Corporation had not yet released, although it was not as good as the model she had specially designed for herself.
But Li Xia liked it too, now the plane... exploded!
"Enemy attack!"
Several men raised their guns, and muzzle flashes came out.
"Da da da da da"
A hail of bullets hurtled toward Li Xia like a storm, tearing his 'figure' to shreds.
"Afterimage...?"
It seemed as if the sky had suddenly darkened, and only a flash of white light appeared in the pitch-black vision.
The bodies of several Red Turban Army soldiers suddenly stiffened. As Li Xia walked past them, gushing blood spurted from their chests.
This location is less than 50 kilometers from the Red Turban Army headquarters and should be part of the outer defense line.
I never expected that a criminal gang would actually create an air defense identification zone.
